TEG Virtual is now The Virtual Assistant Company! What started as a VA business offering design and marketing services in 2015, has evolved over the years and we felt that a name change was in order to reflect what the company has become. Thank you to all of our clients, past and present. We wouldn’t have made it this far without your support. What you need to know We are now officially called The Virtual Assistant Company and our website and email addresses have been updated to reflect this. Please use these going forward: hello@thevirtualassistantco.comwww.thevirtualassistantco.com Our social media links have also changed to reflect the new business name. You will notice our company logo name and logo gradually being rolled out across our invoicing system and various platforms. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help. Why we’re here Jonathan started this business because he understood that in order to grow a business, you can’t do it alone. He also experienced first-hand the struggle of trying to build a business as a dyslexic, and quickly recognised the value of a great assistant. 2019 and beyond Jonathan had initially formed the business in 2015 offering design and marketing services as well as support with tech tasks. Bethan joined the business in late 2015, bringing her administrative, PA and event management experience. Realising that all these things (and more) could be done virtually, they combined their experience to provide fundamental help for businesses and busy entrepreneurs, whilst offering a flexible and rewarding way of working. More about our story here. The new logo The new logo is more fresh, crisp and clean, and says it on the tin. Once again, thank you to all of our clients, past and present, for supporting us in what we do. Please use our new email addresses going forward, and as always, reach out if you need anything!
